Bulk Licenses from One Activation Key

Simplify multi-copy purchases

Simplify multi-copy purchases by issuing one activation key which is valid to authorize multiple computers. Easy to distribute. Or permit bulk sales of activation codes, and watch as software sold via distributors and resellers is fulfilled by the ultimate customers.

Monitor Customer License Activity

Activation Pro maintains a complete license history

Use the database of licenses to report on progress of evaluations. Monitor trials, reactivations and licenses. For subscription-type licenses, see the last time the application checked back with the activation server. And you always have a complete history of all customers' licenses available.

Customer Database

Track customers and associated activation keys

Activation Pro includes a customer database for you to track your customers and associate activation keys with the customer who purchased them. And you can give your customers a view into the status of all their activation keys as well as all the licenses they have generated with the included Customer Portal.

How Software Activation Works

Setup: define the types of licenses to be delivered with software activation, typically trial, permanent node-locked, and permanent floating.

Upon purchase, create activation keys for distribution to your customers. Or create them in bulk, in advance.

Build an "Enter Key" dialog in your product, prompt for the activation key, and pass the key to RLM via an API. Or set up a webpage for your customers to enter the activation key and hostid.

Activation Pro and RLM do the hard stuff. They connect to the software activation server on your website, authenticate the activation key, record the transaction in your activation database, and return a license or an error status.

You check the return status from the API and decide to run or not.
